notes

Is it possible to lend out of my self directed IRA through a NOTE to someone starting a business. There would be no real estate involved.

@Jesse Hargrove

The transaction itself - issuing a note (secured or unsecured) to a business - is absolutely something an IRA can do.

The question would be who the borrower is. If a disqualified party to your IRA is directly or indirectly involved in the transaction, then you would not want to do this.
